He entered through the unlocked door. She was not home. The money they had put away together had given her this beautiful
house. She had created a new life. A life with someone else, not with him. It had taken some
doing, finding her. Time changes both appearance and memory. She had a new name
now, but it was definitely her. Some things never change.
They had done everything together. Even when it ended, they would
stick together. How wrong had he been. She got witness protection, access to
the money, In return, he got sixteen years.
He was back.

Well, that was eerie. I wonder what he did to get 16 years.
ReplyDeleteHi Rog,
ReplyDeleteThe old love getting out of prison is a great premise, menacing and fraught with danger. Good scenario. Ron
Ok, someone call 911 or this isn't going to end well! Nice story, it sucked me in and left me worried over her.
ReplyDeleteVery good at making us pull for the as yet unnamed and unseen protagonist!
ReplyDeleteOh my...someone might be in trouble. Nice
ReplyDeleteGreat sense of foreboding here ... that guy is seriously upset with her. Nicely done.
ReplyDeleteA dish best eaten cold? Oh, man, is she going to be surprised. Great story. Thanks for the ride.
ReplyDeleteAloha,
Doug
I don't think this the The Homecoming in the Waltons sense. I want to find her and tell her not to go home quite yet. Sinister build. Nice job.
ReplyDeleteVery nicely done. I love the ending! Promising lots of action in the next episode :-0
ReplyDeleteIt is not going to be a good day!! You left me wanting to know more, both what had already happened and what would happen next. Well, maybe only the first. I can imagine the second.
ReplyDeleteThis could turn into something very interesting. Very nice mix of emotions. I just don't know who is right, I want to know the girl's part of the story!
ReplyDeleteVery good work, I hope you expand on this!
what will satisfy him? If she went witness protection, that means he turned against her. He doesn't sound evil, but maybe it is a thin line between that and violence.
ReplyDeleteInteresting. He's back. For revenge? Very interesting, indeed.
ReplyDeleteHow Scary. He's back..I gather it means he went to prison and is now out on parole. The gov. didn't conceal her very well bec. he found her. Confused however...I see no connection with the photo... unless I missed something?
ReplyDeleteI loved this! I could follow his progress in the house... would like to see more.
